Create a Profile

In this lab we were given 5 clues:

1. Fingerprints
2. Large Hair/Fiber
3. Ripped up Note
4. Small Hair/Fiber
5. Light red/pinkish Spot

With these clues we have to identify the specifics of each of these clues and create a profile for a suspect of what we know, what we don’t know, and what we need to find out.

I grouped up with April and our profile was:

1. Fingerprints
1. Right hand Print
2. Small fingers possible female
3. Thumb has a plain whorl
4. Index has a radial loop
5. Middle has a plain arch
6. Ring has a radial loop
7. No pinkie print present
2. Handwriting
1. “You will never find her!” is written in cursive by the kidnapper
2. When he/she writes they don’t pick up their pen
3. Both Hair/Fibers
1. Large
1. Two different colors Brown/Black
2. Thought to be cat hair based on similar looks from known cat hair
2. Small
1. Red/Color treated red
2. Looks like a white girl hair that she had dyed for more color
4. Red Spot
1. Could be lipstick but does not look like it contains any form a petroleum jelly in it
2. Not dark enough of red to be blood but not ruling anything out for all we know it could be juice

In the end we concluded that the suspect was a female with color treated red hair and a pet cat with possibly a light red lipstick, or bleed a little. Bring in females close to suspect with red hair and a cat test them for color treated and see if the pet hair matches. Check for any new cuts or scratches or light red lipstick or gloss. Then test the handwriting for any similarities.
